1/9/2011 haul; and I found a new hobby!

It was a hot and humid day, today.
And what better way to keep my spirits high than beauty hauling!

Seriously now, I don't need any excuses to shop on beauty products...Just thought that ANY introduction than the meaningless "hey, look what I got" is always nicer!No? Didn't work? Eh well, I'm still working on my English writing skills :P

Garnier 7-days body lotion with Aloe Vera: I'm so glad Garnier improved their bodycare line and came up with this! Anything with aloe vera "hits a nerve" on me, so naturally I was sold the minute I saw it on the shelves...

TBS Elderflower eye gel: back in my teens, I would dream of becoming older so as to be eligible to use this particular product! That's right, the Body Shop got me hooked in their skincare so early in age... I've read mixed reviews about it though :/

Apivita Bee Princess bio-eco lip care: tres, tres cute! I finally spotted it on my closest Hondos Center, as it was sold out in all pharmacies near my place. Specially packaged for little princesses, like myself! lol

Korres Mandarin lip butter in Pink: a repurchase! Mentioned it before and I'll say it once again: I simply adore the new revamped packaging of the Korres lip butters in the stick form. I'd also love to see a similar pattern on Jasmine lip butter...

TBS Seaweed face scrub: hmmm... Not that it's crap, but it seems that it has the same liquid base as the regular Seaweed cleanser with the sole addition of Jojoba stones... Not very thoughtful, if you ask me!

Apivita face mask sachets with Prickly Pear: what can I say, I'm hooked to Apivita's express masks! No further explanations here...

And to justify the latter half of this post's title:

Ta-daaa!!!

It's a pocket-size sketchers' box filled with 12 water colours.
Yep, I'm gonna start playin' all smart and sophisticated, strolling around the city and capturing the moment with my charming drawings...*pukes from excessive cheesiness*

Ok, it's not as exciting as bungee-jumping but suits me fine!
I'm the extreme opposite of a thrill-seeker at heart ;)

hahaha I love watercolors! Just don't use them on the walls...like me XDWhen i was like 9? i took all my watercolors, wore gloves, dipped my hands in and made a collage of my fingerprints on my walls :p (of course my mum screamed:p) It was impossible to remove them, each time we painted the room , each time the fingerprints came back :P

then i took up other crafting hobbies, (safer) like making jewelry with beads and shells. xoxo

I also have that princess lipbalm! hahahaha but it hink out of all the apivita lipbalms (me and sammi bought every single one) the camomile and the black one are the best tasting and texture. I was so dissappointed with the flavor of this one. However i love the packaging!!!!

I think I might try that Garnier body lotion. I use tons of body lotion and I like to try new ones (aloe vera is a good reason to buy it like you said). Good for you for taking up drawing. I think it's a lovely hobby, very creative and relaxing. My hobbies besides blogging (that takes a lot of time as you know), are dancing (tango) and singing and I enjoy them very much. xxx

@Arietta, aww girl how I envy you! I wish I had the GUTS (and the talent, of course) to sing in front of an audience or have a dancing partner! Sadly my bf is the opposite of what you'd call a "smooth dancer"- shhh don't tell anyone! xx

@Froso M., well it definitely feels rejuvenating! xx

@dimitra, haha thanks honey! The Garnier body lotion is growqing into a favourite, I love its smell! The eye gel is fine, it's a pleasure to use. i can't see any improvements in dark circles or fine lines, it just moisturises the eye area ;)xx
